freeze tag

Immobilizing playground pursuit

Freeze tag is a children's chasing game where the player who is "it" tags others, causing them to freeze in place until freed by an untagged player's touch.

The game ends when everyone is frozen or when "it" gives up.

We played freeze tag until the streetlights came on.
